Georgia Guidestones
rain washed stand the stones,
with carvings of human hand,
in their quiet stature they speak
a language to us unknown!
tons of hardened rock,
designed to withstand the fury,
of weather, nature and time’s flow,
to express secret wishes
of our soft beating hearts.
inscriptions tell us what should be
and what could be,
ten commandments anew
for a society more lost than ever before.
the source of this modern wisdom
and channels of its wealth a mystery,
not a Stonehenge of burial but
perhaps an expression of some hope
for a different future.
Or is it the arrogance of a few?
with abundant earnings,
who have since perished,
and have left their misguided
conclusions live on for millenniums!
monuments of marble and rocks,
mark journeys of human emotions,
If only these stones could speak,
they may tell a tale to remember….
I can linger no longer in the mystery
of their silence,
I have a train to catch and
the reality of life to confront.
